English Translation
4When you meet in battle those who persist in disbelief, strike their necks! Then, when you have gained a crushing superiority over them, bind the rest tightly and take them captive. Afterwards, release them either freely or for ransom. Do this so that the disbelievers no longer have the strength to make war on you. Had Allah willed, He could have punished them without fighting; but He wanted to test you by making you fight one another. Allah will never let the efforts of those who fight in His way go to waste.
